Orange & Teal (Rochester Mall)

Beef cheeks is definitely the highlight of the experience although it’s a tad too salty for me.

But overall everything is still pretty good.

The newly opened Orange & Teal definitely had a great ambience. A place for you to chill while reading or have banter with friends. I have to be upfront that the pictures on the menu did not look great and perhaps that will be improved soon! Luckily, the dishes that came were really delicious!

The poulet roti was fantastic. A huge and juicy herb-crusted chicken thigh. I was surprised by the cook on the chicken, as the skin was really crispy and flavourful; yet the meat was tender and juices overflowed, also having the same flavour as the skin. The accompanying pumpkin and zucchini were also cooked well and could have perhaps used a slight roast to elevate their flavours.

I was not expecting to find Jambalaya here, and boy I was glad I did. Each bite was savoury, spicy, nutty with sweetness provided from the accompanying vegetables. The prawns were juicy and its flavour from having a slight char on top also elevated this dish. My only gripe was towards the end of the plate, where the rice was a tad bit wet. If the rice was cooked by a bit longer, this dish would have been complete.

Overall, I will definitely be back to Orange & Teal. A great start and all the best to them! Prices are cafe standard and there is no service charge and GST!
